As final exams approach, college students around the country are panicking at the thought of actually having to crack open the dusty textbooks they purchased at the beginning of the semester. Don’t get me wrong. I am certainly in that category of students; and while I know at some point I will have to actually sit down and start cramming for exams and researching for final papers, I also know that I’m going to need something to do while I wait to do all of this until the last few days before finals. In the spirit of procrastination, here are 5 iPhone games to play while you procrastinate.

1. Crossy Road

One of the better games on the app store, “Crossy Road” is incredibly addicting and will have you trying to beat your high score until an hour before your exam. The entire game is essentially a rip-off of old-school frogger, but it does have some unique twists that set it apart from the amphibious vintage arcade game. The classic elements are there, with the objective being to get as many steps as possible before you fall into water or get hit by a truck or train. The game also allows you to earn new avatars accompanied by new maps and obstacles that keep the game fresh.

2. Rolling Sky

Honestly, I cannot thing of a game more frustrating than “Rolling Sky”. The entire object of this game is to navigate a series of courses with obstacles that are often times impossible to predict. Even if you are a hand-eye coordination master, the obstacles on each level are downright unfair; but that is what makes this game so entertaining and enticing. In order to beat a single course, it takes a number of tries to learn the obstacles through muscle memory. Human error and the unforeseeable traps on each level will have you rage quitting constantly, but you will come back to it every time nonetheless.

3. Heads Up!

If you have a group of friends, Ellen DeGeneres’ “Heads Up!” will help you procrastinate the inevitable together. You play the game by choosing a category, and depending on your selection, the screen will display a word for something of that nature. The twist is that the player with the phone places it on their forehead so they can’t see it, and participants must give hints about the word without actually saying it. The best part of this game is that it records the people trying to shout hints at you, so if there’s a funny moment, it is automatically stored and you can access the video after the round is over.

4. LightBike

This is one of the original procrastination apps that I played before I even had an iPhone. This was back when the only Apple product I owned was an iPod Touch. Nevertheless, this app is a classic that incredibly addicting, yet simple. In this game, the objective is to create a trail to cut people off from behind you. It functions a lot like the motorcycles from “Tron.” The objective is to cut off your opponents and eliminate them from the game; kind of like driving on the New Jersey Turnpike.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
